The Bear Cross in Bournemouth

The Bear CrossCalled in by chance today. Quick service and good atmosphere. Despite being very busy (lucky to get a table) the service was great and the food tasty. Thanks, we will be back. Julian & Amanda

What a pleasant surprise! The pub had such a lovely, calming atmosphere with modern and warm decor throughout. We ordered starters and desserts and they were of a good standard and reflected the price well- plus the staff went to a lot of trouble to make me a bespoke mocktail, and it was so clear that they cared about our experience and wanted everything to be lovely for us. I’ll definitely recommend this pub to others. Thank you!

We brought our dog here because I saw reviews saying they were dog-friendly and even though they had a birthday booking in the only area where they allow dogs in the lower seating area the manager managed to accommodate us elsewhere. I'm glad they did as the Steak and Ale pie was delicious and the small adult option was perfect for my mum and great value. I would go out of my way to visit The Bear Cross again in future

Clean, bright pub.Very polite and helpful staff.Nice menu and good food.No stools for sitting at bar.More like a restaurant than a pub.Area to take your dog into.Outdoor seating area although on a busy noisy roundabout.Good parking spaces.

Staff could not do enough & the food was great & hot. My wife who is Gluten Free, felt so relaxed with the choices she had & the food she had. It makes a real difference to not have to worry about being gluten free. Thank you The Bear Cross

The food was 1st class. We had a really fussy eater with us and they couldn't do anymore to accommodate her.All staff were wearing masks and tables were spaced well so felt very safe.Five star for the food and service and atmosphere.Best meal we have had at a restaurant for a long time and a reasonable price.

Often passed this place but thought we'd stop in and grab some food. What a great place - super friendly people very reasonable and lovely food. We will definitely be returning.
